I am currently using McAfee AV on a Win 10, and a Win 11 PC and it is due to be renewed ($$) soon.. Just asking what others are using (Satisfied, Unsatisfied or recommendations) before I go ahead and renew OR make a change. I have asked this on INET but must reviews are related to this or that company and to me are questionable.. Travel and Camp Safe..

The Windows Defender security system (Microsoft's built-in system) has come a LONG way. I'm using it on both of our Win 11 laptops and have had zero issues in the years I've been using it. It costs nothing extra and there's much less overhead (doesn't bog down the system) than McAfee and other aftermarket programs. Prior to the improvements in Windows Defender, I used avast! on the advice of the IT people at work (a 500+ bed hospital with probably thousands of PCs).Rob

I just use the free Microsoft defender at home and have for years with no issues. In my professional life I absolutely hate McAfee.

I've been using the IObit software for many years now and am satisfied with the performance. https://www.iobit.com/en/index.php?s

I too have relied on the built in Windows anti-virus for a long time. I augment it with the free version of Malwarebytes for those times when I venture into uncharted territory, which isn't often. In my experience, most dangers now days seem to be more like phishing scams and the like. Anti-virus software can't offer much there.

Try Avast FREE. Works well for me. They have a paid version that I have also use but do not see any advantage.
